Application experience of emergency green channel in traumatic diaphragmatic hernia

Objective To explain the application experience of emergency green channel in traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia admitted to Jiangsu provincial people's hospital from May 2017 to May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were rescued by emergency green channel. The operation situation, treatment results and postoperative complications were recorded. Results The average pre-hospital emergency time was (23.6±5.5) minutes in 25 patients, and the time from injury to surgery was (72.7±6.2) minutes. 23 patients underwent emergency surgery after admission, and the other 2 patients underwent surgery on the 2nd day after admission. The complication rate was 8.70%, the mortality rate was 8.00%, and the treatment success rate was 92.0%. Conclusion The establishment of the emergency green channel can greatly shorten the time from injury to surgery. The patients with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia are treated promptly in the most rapid way, and advocate more hospitals to establish an "emergency green channel" so that more patients can receive effective treatment in the shortest time.
